STUDENTS DECEIVED BY COLLEGES DESERVE A FULL REFUND

When Wall Street investors own your college, their profit is more important than your success. They use your student aid dollars on call centers, TV ads, Washington lobbyists, extravagant CEO salaries, and Wall Street profits.

For-profit colleges like ITT Tech, DeVry, the Art Institute, and University of Phoenix aggressively pressure students to enroll in order to make huge profits on overpriced programs. They lie to students about school quality, tuition, and job prospects. These schools cheat students out of their Pell Grants and GI Bill dollars, and leave them in crushing debt—all for an education that wasn't what they were promised.

Tell the Department of Education to hold for-profit colleges accountable and to stop selling out students!
